Players to Watch

Erling Haaland has been directly involved in at least one goal in each of his last six appearances for Borussia Dortmund. And he will certainly fancy his chances of extending that run on Saturday, as he closes in on his 20th Bundesliga goal.

Mahmoud Dahoud has broken his way into the starting XI, and has been one of the team’s best performers over the last two games. If Lucien Favre keeps him in the starting XI for the game against Bielefeld, the German international can make a big difference with his creativity and ability to make things happen from the middle of the park.

PSV Eindhoven loanee Ritsu Doan has been in impressive form of late, and he will be aiming to keep his run going this weekend. The winger scored against Bayern Munich, and followed that up with an assist against Wolfsburg. If Borussia Dortmund aren’t careful, his pace and trickery can really hurt them on the counter attack.
